“I had the honor of seeing Pat present at the 36th Annual Federal Executive Board Women’s Professional Development & Training program. Her presentation was on Managing Up and the energy, insight, engagement, and entertain she brought all in one was second to none. She is a true Professional, Talent, and Value add to all she impacts.”
“Pat delivered a presentation on Managing Up at the Federally Employed Women’s annual conference in 2018. Her poise, clarity and engagement in delivering the content was stellar. I am a presenter and can be quite critical, but Pat WOW’ed me! She knew the material well, engaged the audience effortlessly and left us all wanting more. I highly recommend her as a speaker or trainer for your organization or group. ”
“I attended a presentation Pat gave to the Senior Executives Association and Young Government Leaders as part of the 2020 Mentoring cohort. The presentation was all about your leadership journey and Pat used an analogy of our leadership journey to a road trip. I absolutely loved the analogy as it made the information more accessible and easier to think about on a day-to-day basis. Overall great presentation that was engaging and full of information I can easily apply. Thanks Pat!”
